    Kenmore Dryer that the drum turns but it won't heat
    I have a Kenmore Dryer that the drum turns but it won't heat. Should I replace the High heat temp cut off, Thurmostate, and fuse. I have checked the heating element and it seems to be in working order. I don't see any visual breaks in the heating element. Thanks

    Hi Tony, You need a volt/ohm meter to determine what part is bad. If you don't own one any big box store sells them and a cheap one can be had for about $15. That will save you in the long run and get your dryer up and heating quicker. Good luck

    The High heat temp cut off, Thurmostate, and fuse all come in a repair kit. Cheap, So I figured I would go ahead a replace all of them. I am not sure but I think this all started while changing out the curtousy light for the controls and it sparked while doing so.
    Hope I didn't do more damage than just changing out those parts
